NASA delayed reviewing Artemis II test results due to a ground issue, but mission remains on track for 2026 lunar flyby.

NASA conducted a confidence test for the Artemis II mission on February 12, 2026, as part of preparations for the first crewed lunar flyby since 1972. A ground equipment issue delayed analysis of the test results, which are now under review. NASA emphasized safety and mission readiness, stating that a timeline for next steps will follow the evaluation. The mission aims to send astronauts around the Moon later in 2026, pending successful completion of remaining tests.
